I hear the Rickets family, who own the Chicago Cubs, are secretly spending $'s against me. They better be careful, they have a lot to hide!

Here's some more information to clear up what Trump is talking about, via USA Today:
New campaign-finance reports show that Marlene Ricketts, the wife of billionaire T.D. Ameritrade founder J. Joe Ricketts, contributed $3 million to Our Principles PAC, a super PAC that blistered Trump with negative ads, voter guides and mailers ahead of the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries. Katie Packer, who helped manage Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign, runs the group.
Virtually all the money the committee raised in January came from Ricketts, whose family owns the Chicago Cubs.
For clarity's sake, Marlene is the wife of Joe Ricketts, but Joe doesn't have a lot of involvement in the day-to-day operations of the Cubs. Thomas Ricketts led the bid to acquire 95 percent of the Cubs in 2009 and is viewed as the owner, although the family shares interest in the team through their family trust.
